Peter Freeman writes nonfiction and fiction novels, stage and screenplays, children's books, magazine articles, short stories, and poetry.

After sailing with a friend across the Tasman Sea to New Zealand, Peter built Laiviņa, a Hartley 32ʹ sloop and departed Victoria, British Columbia, in 1984 to circumnavigate the globe solo, non-stop. He broke the existing world record with a time of 236 days. His book, Cape Horn Birthday is an account of this journey.

Peter represented Canada as a masters athlete in world championships. In 2003, at the age of 51, Peter was ranked 11th in the world and 1st in Canada in the 400 metre event for his time in Puerto Rico of 55.10 seconds. Peter has twice ridden his bicycle across Canada and, at the age of 61, bicycled the 15,400 kilometres around the perimeter of Australia in 79 days.

These twelve screen and stage plays explore the richness and intensity of life: A decision to be made after an unexpected pregnancy; a political activist is imprisoned with a murderer; a date-rapist attempts to make amends; a secret tryst between professor and student switches when three's a crowd; courage shifts from uncle to nephew when a rat appears; a migrant seeks his wife after war; justice comes in the strangest way to a boy abused by a priest; a virtual reality experience takes a strange twist; it's hard to work in the tropics but the heat has its advantages; a leader loses confidence after an avalanche; a group of citizens save their island's aquifer from a corporation's greed; and three skate punks help their friend tease out the intricacies of time travel.
